The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY24 is not expected to be complete until March, 2025.

Download all SBIR.gov award data either with award abstracts (290MB) or without award abstracts (65MB). A data dictionary and additional information is located on the Data Resource Page. Files are refreshed monthly.

The SBIR.gov award data files now contain the required fields to calculate award timeliness for individual awards or for an agency or branch. Additional information on calculating award timeliness is available on the Data Resource Page.

  1. ICME-based fatigue life prediction for additive manufactured metallic components

    SBC: MRL MATERIALS RESOURCES LLC            Topic: N19BT026

    Despite the tremendous benefits of additive manufacturing (AM) to our warfighters, uncertainty in fatigue life predictions have been a major roadblock for certifying metallic AM parts to fly. We are proposing a hybrid modeling/inspection approach to estimate fatigue life of AMed parts using damage tolerance analysis combined with inspections. The new developed tool is expected to provide certifica ...

  3. Non-destructive Webbing Strength Indicator

    SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: N19BT032

    Webbing is strong, woven material that is used to secure cargo as well as for safety equipment such as seat belts, harnesses, and parachute rigging. Due to its extensive use in Military applications, the strength of the webbing is a key component of equipment design, especially in the case of safety gear that protects soldiers, as lives may be dependent on the strength and proper performance of th ...

  4. Multi-scale Physics-based Modeling of Particle-Impact Erosion of CMCs

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: N19BT033

    Sand particles ingested into aeroengines can impinge on components made of ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs) and cause structural damage including long-term erosion. Experimental analysis of erosion typically focuses on the damage footprint and mass loss and is limited in the range of operating parameters that can be examined. Hence, high-fidelity modeling of the erosion process is essential to der ...

  5. Analysis and Modeling of Erosion in Gas-Turbine Grade Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs)

    SBC: ALPHASTAR TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS LLC            Topic: N19BT033

    A significant barrier to the insertion of ceramic matrix composite (CMC) materials into advanced aircraft engines is their inherent lack of toughness under erosion and post erosion. Our team will develop and demonstrate a physics-based model for erosion/post erosion of CMC’s at room and elevated temperatures (RT/ET). The ICME (Integrated Computational Material Engineering) Physics based Multi Sc ...

  6. Rapid ICME-based Multiphysics Modeling of Surface Roughness in LPBF Ti6Al4V

    SBC: MRL MATERIALS RESOURCES LLC            Topic: N19BT034

    The uncertainty in predicting surface roughness and subsurface defects in as-built additively manufactured (AM) parts is hindering the wide utilization of AM for mission critical components that exhibit fatigue loading conditions due to the propagated uncertainly in crack initiation and propagation from surface defects. Thus, this work is focused on developing a new multiphysics toolset for predic ...

  7. Smart ICME for Enhanced Fatigue Life in Metal Additive Manufacturing

    SBC: MRL MATERIALS RESOURCES LLC            Topic: N20AT002

    Fatigue life of parts produced by metal additive manufacturing is determined by the complex interaction of defects, surface properties, and material microstructure.  Each of these constituents is affected by the choice of processing parameters, as well as the feedstock, machine performance, etc.  In addition, stochastic events often contribute significantly to the fatigue life of individual samp ...

  8. Fully Automated Quantum Cascade Laser Design Aided by Machine Learning with up to 100X Design Cycle Time Reduction

    SBC: IRGLARE LLC            Topic: N20AT003

    A Quantum Cascade Laser's (QCL) core material is a series of nanometer scale layers of conduction band barrier and well materials designed to induce lasing electron energy levels. The key design feature of a QCL is the ability to repeat the laser core superlattice design to cascade electrons through the superlattice repetitions by repeated stimulated emission. Such designs are generally carefully ...
